Coffee Stains - A novel based on The Fooo Conspiracy

16. Coming home

When I wake up, Oscar is gone. Or at least he isn't laying next to me anymore. The spot next to where he has been all night is still a little warm and his smell is still stuck in my nose. Thinking back at yesterday's events, a smile pops up on my face and I close my eyes once again. I am going to move in with my best friend today! And with Oscar. I have no idea how that's going to turn out but I will see. Since Felix, Lou and Omar are going to school here in Stockholm, Ariana graduated from school early because she's a genius or something, Olly is helping taking all my stuff to their loft. Or I guess it's mine now too.. I don't know what Oscar is planning, if he's helping or working, but I will see what he's up to. My thoughts go back to last night. Oscar is actually into me! I cant quite wrap my head around it. The only time anyone has ever so much as flirted with me, was some drunk on the Oktoberfest in Munich last year. That was a weird experience but back to Oscar. About that thing with the affair I'm not quite sure how that's gonna go and if its actually going to happen, but I guess I'll just go with it. When my phone buzzes, I realize that the power is back on and pick it up to check my messages. Then I hear something. Or better: I stop hearing something that was there before. It's the sound of someone taking a shower. Probably just my aunt after the night shift. I am too lazy to answer any of the texts I received, so I put my phone back down and cuddle back into the pillows. "I saw that." His deep morning voice sounds amused. I shrug up and look to the door. When I see Oscar standing there, I have to look twice before I believe it. He is mostly naked. All that he weares is a towel loosely wrapped around his hips. I serious. It looks like its going to drop any second. I burry my face in my pillow again and grumble. "Ugh. I thought you were gone..."
"Real sunshine today, are we?" He jokes and I hear the sound of someone changing. "Are you seriously changing in front of me now?" I complain but only earn a chuckle. "What time is it? Why aren't you at work?" I ask as the rustling stops. "You can look up now I'm done. It's nine thirty. Because I thought I'd help you..."
I lift up my head and instead lean it onto my hand watching him closely. He is now wearing the same cloths as yesterday and his wet hair falls into his gorgeous face. Yes I just used the word gorgeous to describe a face...
"What are you waiting for? Olly will be here any minute." Oscar tells me and I start with maneuvering myself out of the bed and onto the floor. Getting up usually takes me a long time. I'm not one of these people who throw away their bedcovers and look already perfect. As I am out of the bed, not standing up yet but still out of it, I literally crawl to the bathroom. Or at least the process is best to describe that way. I'm actually using a special technique that includes more than one way of animal crawling. I stretch my arms into the direction I want to move, then I find something to hold on, and then I pull the rest of my body after it. I'm guessing that Oscar watches me. I have no idea of his facial expression right now, but at least that's something.

Arriving in the bathroom I pull myself up on the sink with my eyes closed because I always get terrified of the way I look in the morning. Then I grab my hairbrush, with my eyes still shut, and slowly brush my hair. As soon as that's done, I open my eyes. Flinching my nose I bend down and throw some water in my face so I wake up properly. Unfortunately I fail and mistake cold water with warm. Or more like hot... I curse the worst way I've ever cursed before and quickly wash my face off with cold water this time. That's just another morning is the life of... Well me. After brushing my teeth and putting only very little mascara on, I leave the bathroom and return back to my room.
Oscar sits on my bed with his phone. He looks up as I enter and puts his phone aside. How gentle!
I go to my bag without looking at him. My clothes are all in my bag now because of the moving you know? Anyways.. I take out some clothing. It doesn't really matter what I'm wearing and the author hates to write that down anyway. When I stand up from kneeling on the floor Oscar stands behind me. "Why do you always do that?" I chuckle before his hands appear on my hips. His touch is soft as ever and only seconds after he places wet kisses on my neck. Before I can either drop him or give into it, the doorbell rings. This thing just has a habit of destroying my moments... Oscar sighs and lets go of me. "I'll get it!" He groans and I feel like whoever is in front of that door is going to feel Oscars despise all day. Poor Olly. I chuckle and quickly get dressed. Then I go to the kitchen where I can hear the boys talking. They talk Swedish but I still understand every word.
"Dude listen. I don't know whats going on with you and Klerii, but please don't fuck this up. She's my new best friend and I really don't want her to get hurt. I know Alicia probably only cares about 'being the superstars girlfriend' in front of the press but if it comes out that you've been hooking up with another girl.... Dude just please don't fuck this up I hope you know what you're doing." Ollys voice sounds worried. "I do know what I'm doing. I tried to stay away from her but it didn't work. It made me sick. So now I'm following my instincts. And she's something like my best friend too!" Oscar says and the conversation falls silent.
I enter the room.
Olly greets me with a warm hug. He's like Olaf! I suddenly think and it makes me smile wider. "Morning sleepy head. I brought you the coffee you wanted." He says handing me, well guess what, yes a vanilla latte. I let out a weird sound in between a pig squeak and a cats miaw. Then I grab the coffee. "wait. I didn't tell you to get me one..." I say confused looking at the two boys in front of me. My look stops at Oscar. Did he?
Oscar looks away. "But thanks!" I smile. "Should we get on with the moving?" Olly says breaking the awkwardness. "Well its not much, just a few bags... My mom brought some of my favorite things from home and the rest of my clothing. It's only three big bags. Are you coming?" I say and they follow me back down the hallway. I pic up the biggest bag and hand it to Oscar. "Here. This one should be fit for you since its only slightly bigger than your ego..." I tease him and he sticks out his tongue. "What kind of girl are you that you need so many things? Oh! Are you one of those crazy chicks that take all of their stuff wherever they go?" With these words he leaves the room and then the house to go to the car. Olly came with Oscars big dog car because the tiny smart of his was too small to even carry three people.
As soon as Oscar has left Olly looks at me with his eyebrows lifted. "Oh snap! Did that go the entire last night like this? That's tough..."
"Oh no. We're just teasing. So I'm guessing Oscar told you what's between the two of us?" I ask
"Well not all of it and I do not want to know that, you guys are still my best friends, but I know he likes you a whole lot more than he used to like Alicia." These words are like a flame that lights up my heart. Or maybe it'll burn it just as easily. I have no idea where I picked up this phrase... You get the idea...

I respond nothing to Ollys statement but hand him one of the two bags left. I take the other one and together we follow Oscar out of the house. When we arrive at the car, Oscar looks like he's hiding something. "What's wrong honey? Oh did you sniff through my bag?" I already know the answer to that question but that is the reason I asked it in the first place.
"Well yeah!? Of course I did! Who do you think I am?" He replies outraged and I chuckle and put the bag I'm carrying to the one Oscar has obviously just looked through. "Find anything interesting?" I'm still chuckling. It is the one with my stereo station inside. My mom brought it for me because she knows how important music is to me. "No not what I was hoping for." These words make me listen closely. The talk goes on while we're all getting into the car. Olly and Oscar in the front, my in the middle seat of the back. It smells like wet dog in here. Oh miracle! "What were you looking for?" I ask while the doors are closing. "Underwear..." Oscar replies smiling and then he starts the engine of the car. Of course you looked for underwear! I was well aware of that from the beginning so i wisely carried the bag with the clothing myself. Smart right? Well that's who I am. Now I just look forward to meeting Oscars dogs. I've heard so much about them that I feel like I've known them forever. I love dogs. I love dogs more than I love people. For me dogs have always been a fully satisfied part of the family. Always just as much loved as everyone else. Not like my mother. To her dogs are just another mouth to feed, another object that has to be paid for, another body to cloth. Well you get the idea. At least I always need one, or more, dogs around to be happy. Those are my thoughts as we drive through the streets of Stockholm. As we drive towards my new home.
